Rainbow in the Dark is a solo exhibition by German contemporary artist Anselm Reyle. The exhibition was curated by Newark, New Jersey-based Emann Odufu. Anselm Reyle is one of the most renowned contemporary artists in the world. His best-known works include his foil and strip paintings and his sculptures. Remnants of consumer society, discarded materials, symbols of urbanity, and industrial change play a central role in his works.
Reyle’s practice is inspired by his participation in the punk and heavy metal music movements. His unique color palette that utilizes Day Glo colors can be seen as an outgrowth of his fascination with psychedelic and punk aesthetics.
Museum visitors last night also enjoyed Punk rock music played by NYC-based band Darling which emanated from MoCA Westport's gallery earlier in the evening as part of the Museum's Cocktails and Conversation event.
The lobby experience was created by Anselm Reyle while on site; he used fire extinguishers and paint cartridges to create this site-specific art while at MoCA in April 2023.
